Lois and her sister in law, Charlotte "Chick" Johnson Doe, both went to Middlebury College in Vermont. The Alumni News reported the following:

"Lois Groben Doe has been staying active in bridge and book clubs. Still living in their own home,
she and her husband help out in the apple orchard business of Chick (Charlotte Johnson Doe),
which has just added “pick your own” raspberries and blueberries. How I wish they lived nearer us!"
